I Teach Scumbag Tops a Lesson by Breaking Character [Quick Transmigration]

◆ This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. It's a character-writing exercise, so please read at your own discretion~

He Yi Yao is halfway through confessing to his childhood friend, whom he's secretly loved for years, when the other man falls into a coma saving him. He then gets bound to a System: if he completes the missions, his childhood friend will wake up.

However

A flirtatious, seductive movie star kept as a well-behaved little bird by a philandering, violent playboy?

A sobbing, clingy flower left so neglected by a selfish, spoiled rich kid that he shuts himself away?

An elegant young gentleman driven to a breakdown by an emotionless assistant?

A sickly beauty, fragile as a greenhouse flower, ruined by a control freak with a screw loose?

So they're all doomed to a bad ending, with no other way out?

System 418: Keeping to your character will make the missions easier. Work hard to rewrite their endings!

He Yi Yao explodes on the spot: "I can't pull off any of these characters, damn it!!"

418: Think of your childhood friend lying in the hospital.

He Yi Yao: "...I can do it."

World One:

The playboy spends every day chasing after one beauty after another

He Yi Yao grits his teeth: "Who doesn't know how to play hard to get?"

Pei Yiqin: "Movie star He? He still waits at home for me like a good boy."

[After the character breaks] He's a flirt, wearing his childhood friend's face?

He Yi Yao storms the scene, his long legs thumping down. "Get your ass home!"

Pei Yiqin: "Of course, my superstar. Can I come visit you on set tomorrow?"

World Two:

The arrogant rich kid never stops finding fault

He Yi Yao digs his nails into his thigh, trying hard to look teary-eyed. "You don't like any of these dishes? I'll order something else."

Pei Yiqin: "If you can't even cook, why would I marry you?"

[After the character breaks] He's done putting up with this crap!

He Yi Yao flips the table. "Eat if you want. If you don't, get out. Pay for the meal first!"

Pei Yiqin: "Honey, I'm sorry. Open the door, please QAQ."

World Three:

The assistant, bent on revenge, wants to expose him as an Omega pretending to be an Alpha

He Yi Yao forces a smile. "We should be reasonable. About what happened back then..."

Pei Yiqin: "Want to find out what it's like to be marked and then abandoned?"

[After the character breaks] He Yi Yao pins the towering Alpha to the ground in two moves. "Go ahead and try!"

During his Omega heat, he throws himself into his arms and says hoarsely, "Big brother, hold me~"

Pei Yiqin: "Still, Omegas are more appealing."

World Four:

A frail, delicate beauty, breathless after every few steps, a gorgeous and fragile porcelain doll through and through

He Yi Yao, still hungry after his nutritious meal: "Doctor Pei, could we try a different treatment plan?"

Pei Yiqin: "Be good. Just listen to me."

[After the character breaks] He Yi Yao angrily tears down the surveillance cameras. "Do you even know how to have a normal relationship?!"

Pei Yiqin: "Come back, darling. I want to give you all the freedom in the world."

He Yi Yao: "The character? First, I'll fix the scumbag's character, then we'll talk! My childhood friend's fragments can't possibly be this awful!"

System 418: "...You got your happy ending, so I guess you make the rules."

PS:

◆ This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. Each world starts out rough before things get better, so please choose whether to read accordingly.

◆ Romance-focused and sweet overall. The protagonist tries to stay in character but breaks character. The love interest is a nontraditional scumbag.

◆ The feelings are intensely mutual, and the love interest is the same person in every world.

A little preview of my upcoming novel~ Please add it to your reading list, mwah!

Upcoming Novel 1:

"Trading Boyfriends with My Idiot Brother on a Dating Show"

Lu Ming is a gorgeous celebrity, adored for both his box office and viewership numbers. Dashing, high-profile, and carefree, he's half of a wildly popular pairing with an actor from his company who's his senior.

The company sends them to take part in a hugely popular dating show, "Lovers' Swap Diary," and gives them a mission: end their public pairing once filming wraps.

Lu Ming and Mu Yuanchuan, who are strictly professional partners, hit it off right away and decide to have one last bit of fun before breaking up their pairing.

He also drags his older brother, Xu Jingzhou, onto the show. In public, they're enemies; in private, they're the world's most hopeless siblings.

CEO Xu is sharp-tongued and has to interfere in everything! Lu Ming is a poor little fawn who's only just escaped his cage after overcoming countless hardships!

He just wants to watch the aloof, abstinent big boss's public persona crumble on the show.

Besides, he has a serious problem with his brother's arranged-marriage partner, Zhou Xingzhao.

He's brooding and devious, and when they were kids, he was always teasing Lu Ming. He'd ruffle his hair and pinch his cheeks whenever they met, bribe him with all kinds of treats to call him "big brother," dress him in cute little outfits, and take pictures that left him with countless embarrassing memories...

Whenever Lu Ming sees him, he sticks to the wall and makes a quick escape. He hopes Zhou Xingzhao will hurry up and call off the engagement with his brother as soon as the show is over!

But plans never keep up with reality.

On the very first day of filming, they draw lots, and Lu Ming ends up swapping boyfriends with his brother.

Lu Ming: "QAQ It's gone wrong right from the start. What do I do?!"

The production team: "The thrill and heart-pounding excitement are the whole point~"

Lu Ming: "Zhou Xingzhao is the worst! All he does is bully people! How am I supposed to play along?"

In the early episodes, viewers grab their popcorn and wait for a love-triangle showdown.

Fans: "Lu's going to get picked on for sure, stuck with his enemy's fiance. Sob sob sob."

Haters: "That's what he gets for being so cocky and flashy. Those two CEOs should teach him a lesson!"

Later, the trending topics turn the dating show into a masterclass in search rankings:

#LuBlushesSharingABedWithTheZhouFamilyBossTooCute#

#AloofEnemyCEOXuHelpsLuEatTheDemonCilantro#

#ActorMuYourBabyIsGettingStolenAreYouEvenTrying#

Haters: "Turns out I'm the clown. ↓"

During filming

The great demon king Zhou Xingzhao to everyone else: "No. I'm busy. Not happening."

To Lu Ming, he puts a glass of juice right in his hand: "There, there, be good and sit down. I'll cook, clean the room, and handle the task."

Xu Jingzhou, holding the key item: "Want this? Go apologize to Youyou."

Mu Yuanchuan, breaking up their professional pairing by force: "Lu and I are family now. Got it?"

Fans: "Oh wow, Lu's charm alone is holding this entire love-triangle showdown together!"

Shippers: "The Zhou family's demon king has become a perfect househusband. Pick him, baby!"

Lu, whose legs have gone weak from being 'bullied' by the jealous Zhou: "Don't call me out. I still want to get out of bed."

After a livestream of truth-or-dare, the trending topics give up and lie flat:

#LuMingAndXuJingzhouAreActuallyBrothers#

#ActorMuConfessesToBrotherXuAndHisPairingTurnsIntoSisterInLaw#

#ZhouXingzhaoAdmitsHesBeenInLoveWithLuMingForYears#

Lu Ming: "I hate that Zhou guy the mo, I like you~ Give me a kiss~"

Zhou Xingzhao: "Good boy. We'll keep the engagement, and get married, okay, Youyou?"

[Zhou Xingzhao fell for Lu Ming at first sight.]

Main pairing:

Gorgeous, cool, cocky, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted cat-like recipient VS a scheming, devoted husband-type love interest

Secondary pairing:

Aloof, abstinent, sharp-tongued, fiercely protective CEO recipient VS a clingy wolf-dog love interest who seems laid-back on the surface

A few things to know:

★ Neither of the original pairings has feelings for each other. The recipient and his brother don't know each other's pairings are fake. They'll break up when they realize their feelings.

★ One-on-one romance, sweet and doting, with a fake love-triangle showdown and a touch of being doted on by everyone.

★ Lu Youyou takes his mother's surname. Nobody knows the two are brothers.

★ There's a secondary pairing, but it won't take up much space. I'll add bonus chapters depending on how things go.

Upcoming Novel 2:

"The Sickly Beauty Refuses to Pretend to Be Good [Book Transmigration]"

A mad dog with a deep, calculating mind, the controlling love interest VS a sickly, spoiled, wild-rose recipient

After Ji Yang dies, he accidentally transmigrates into a book and becomes a cannon-fodder fake heir who has usurped the real heir's place. The protagonist, the real heir, has just been taken back into the wealthy family and gives Ji Yang to a mad-dog villainous boss who bites anyone he sees, to keep as a canary.

Rumor has it the villain likes obedient people and has ruined a whole string of them, all while searching for a stand-in for his white moonlight.

Ji Yang: "What kind of nonsense is this?"

But the villain in the book has no white moonlight. Where did this one come from?

Ji Yang plans to get the boss to take a fall for the protagonist before making his escape. But the villain is handsome, his hormones are irresistible, and his long legs look very huggable.

More importantly, his looks and personality are exactly like those of Ji Yang's sworn enemy from before he transmigrated.

Ji Yang: "He likes short-tempered big dogs. Perfect for..."

Being his frenemy.

But make him pretend to be obedient? No. He hates pretending to be good more than anything.

He straddles the villain's lap. "Let's make a bet. Do you have what it takes to turn me into your obedient stand-in for your white moonlight? Wanna bet?"

The young man is tall and slender, with exquisite features. Though pale and frail, his smile gives him an alluring air, like a white rose covered in morning dew.

Pure white, yet utterly captivating.

Liang Huanyun: "...Fine. I'll take that bet."

Ji Yang makes an unexpected splash in the entertainment industry with one film. His stunning looks and incredible acting win him countless fans and haters, while rumors about his love life keep piling up.

Liang Huanyun: "I'm your fiance. The wedding's next month."

Ji Yang: "...Could this contestant please follow the rules? Thank you."

At a banquet, several rumored love interests all gather in one place, and everyone waits for a showdown.

A fearless reporter shoves a microphone in Ji Yang's face. "Who do you actually like?"

Ji Yang smiles recklessly. "I like them all."

Reporter: "?!"

The big boss Liang pulls his wild rose, now a domesticated one, into his arms and glares at the reporter. "Have you disinfected that microphone? If not, get lost, "

"Keep trying to drive a wedge between me and my brother and sister-in-law, and you'll lose your press credentials."
